Fervenza do Toxa, Waterfall in Pontevedra, Spain.
Fervenza do Toxa is a waterfall in the Toxa River valley in Galicia that plunges through multiple tiers, creating constant mist as it falls. This spray sustains the lush vegetation and rock formations surrounding the cascade.
The waterfall formed over millions of years as the Toxa River cut through the hard rock layers of Galicia's landscape. This slow erosion process carved the valley you see today.
The name Fervenza do Toxa comes from the Galician language, where fervenza means waterfall in the local dialect. Walking through the valley, you encounter this regional terminology at every turn, reflecting how closely people here connect language with nature.
A trail from the parking area leads down to the waterfall, with viewing platforms at different heights along the way. These different levels allow you to experience the cascade from multiple angles.
After heavy rain, the water volume splits into multiple streams and creates different patterns across the rock face. These temporary variations make each visit following rainfall a completely different experience.

Spain has many natural swimming pools located throughout the country. You can find river pools nestled in green valleys, pools surrounded by mountains and forests, and formations of volcanic rock along the coast. The water is clear and inviting, perfect for cooling off during the hot months. From Las Chorreras del Cabriel in Cuenca to the hot springs of Montanejos in Castellón, there is something to discover in each region. In northern Spain, pools like Sant Aniol d'Aguja in Girona and Pozas de Mougás in Pontevedra show where rivers have carved out natural basins. In the south and on the islands, different types of swimming spots appear: El Caletón on Tenerife and Los Charcones on Lanzarote are volcanic pools right at the edge of the sea. These places reveal different aspects of Spain. Each region has its own character—some pools sit deep in gorges, others open onto river landscapes. Swimming here means experiencing nature directly, away from crowds and chlorine. Local people and visitors come to these spots for genuine outdoor swimming in authentic settings.
